Abstract
Statement of the Problem: What can be done to eliminate the threat of hot tears and shrinkage in the production of aluminum rims?
Research Questions:
The research being carried out will use a library research or a literature review methodology. The research will provide answers to the following questions:
1. What do sources of authority cite as being the most effective ways to prevent hot tearing and shrinkage in the production of aluminum rims?
2. Is there a way to predict where hot tearing and shrinkage will occur in a casting before any castings are poured?
3. What is being done with mold design to prevent shrinkage and hot tearing?
4. Are there ways to differentially cool a mold to allow all the sections of a casting to solidify at the same rate?
